Inline fuse holder????

An inline fuse holder is just that. It is a fuse that "splits" your power line and allows a fuse to be used. If you go to radioshack or a local electric parts store they should have something there for you. Basically it goes like this your power wire from power source - inline fuse - power wire to electric fan. As far as what fuse you need in it I would think a 20amp fuse.
Hope this helps.

you aren't going to just hook the fan up to an on/off switch are you?? thats not all that safe(i.e. you might forget to turn it on after a night ofcheddarbacon said:does the fuse holder connect trought the same side as the wire connecting to the toggle side (12v 20 amp) i think i need a diffrent toggle.
by the way can you tell me how wires hook up to a dam toggle
) put the fuse holder right off of the battery. battery --> fuse holder --> switch --> fanits like 2 12 fans; when you say source you refer to the batter right
this is how i have it: 1)from the + of the battery goes to the 2) circuit breaker then from the other sid of the circuit breaker goes in the harness 3) (its grounded) 4)then from the harnness to the fan then from the fan to a groun make sense i hope

Little confused about your setup now because you sasid you have a breaker, so I assume that you are trying to hook the fuse in line with the toggle switch?
The way I do it is to mount your relay up between the fans and the battery so that the big "hot" wire is no longer than it needs to be. The switch wire doesnt matter. Run a large hot wire of sufficient guage to support whatever current the fan will pull from the battery with the circuit breaker or fuse as close to the battery as practical and hook that wire to pin 30 on the relay and jumper from that wire onto pin 85. The jumper wire now powers the switch coil in the relay so that you dont need to run power through your toggle switch. You can instead trigger it with ground. Then run a large wire from pin 87 to your fan. Now run pin 86 to one terminal of your switch and the other switch terminal to ground. When you flip the toggle, it will ground the coil in the relay which will close the relay contacts and send power to the fan.
